This second report is based on the results of monitoring and analysis conducted in 2016 and 2017, whose main objective was to evaluate the work of the judiciary at all levels in BiH in dealing with corruption-related cases. In addition to quantitative data on the processing of corruption in BiH, the report also offers an analysis of jurisprudence, that is, the quality of work of the judiciary in the field of corruption, as well as the evaluation of the transparency of judicial institutions as an important element in the fight against corruption. Comparison with findings of our pilot report reveals similar problems, but also a worrying decline in the quality of the judicial response to corruption in BiH in a number of key indicators.
